Understanding this data
- EHC plan
- An education, health and care plan is a legal document from the local council for a child with needs that cannot be met by the school's usual support. It names the support the child must get.
- SEN support
- Extra help given by the school itself to a child with special educational needs who does not have an EHC plan.
- SEN information report
- Every school must publish a report on how it supports pupils with SEN. Look for it on the school website.
